ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I got a new alternator because I thought it was draining the battery. A few weeks later I didn’t drive my car for 3 days and the engine would not start but all the lights would turn on. I got it jumped and took it the dealership and they still don’t know what is wrong with it. This is the 4th time this has happened and I changed the battery every time.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Turning the steering wheel requires more force because there’s resistance. It’’s possible to turn the wheel to the left, let go of it and it’ll stay in that direction instead of rotating back. This causes major issues on the highway and during heavy rain. The slightest adjustment causes overcorrection. It’s also accompanied by this creaky/clicking noise.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Fuel injectors failed at 60,000 miles. I do have the failed injectors. The driver's safety was put at risk in the case of engine failure or an unexpected loss of power. This is a common problem documented by owners of the 10th generation Civic Si, other 1.5l turbo Hondas, as well as Honda itself. There was an emission light several weeks ago and an engine light a couple of days ago.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Last week my body control module (bcm) malfunctioned in my car. I was first alerted to this from a car alarm going off. I tried my key fob and nothing happened. Despite nothing happening I walk outside to find it is actually coming from my car and none of the key fob buttons are working.(I have 2 I tried) I was completely locked out of my car and even the physical key was not opening the door. Yet for some reason the trunk was unlocked.(not able to enter car through here.) Looking inside the care to my amazement it was turned on in accessory mode despite me having absolutely no contact with the key except hours prior but the vehicle was properly shut off at that time. The safety concerns posed by this is that this could happen at any point potentially locking a pet, a child, or myself into my car with no means of escape. The car was only in accessory mode, but that means it’s fully capable of turning itself on by itself. Had I parked my car in the garage and it turned over, I’d probably be laying in my house dead from carbon monoxide poisoning. Upon looking online, there were countless occurrences of this happening in Honda’s newer vehicles 2016+. Even to the point where Honda recalled the same body control module issue in their accord and insight models. But why not the civic in their line which suffers from the same issue as their flagship vehicles? I am still unable to get into my car at the moment so I have the part but I’m looking to get it fixed asap as it’s my only vehicle.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Unknown. I arrived to the grocery store and went inside to shop. About 45 minutes later I approached my vehicle and attempted to remote start it. As I approached my vehicle I saw it was on (assuming it was from my remote start). My car wouldn’t unlock. The trunk also wouldn’t unlock. My key fob was not dead as I went back into the grocery store and bought a new battery and replaced it. After that still did not work, I attempted to open my car door with the manual key included in my key fob. The manual key also wouldn’t work. At this point I realized my car was not on due to remote start. My car was actually running the entire time. I was stranded for 5 hours while I had to wait for my fiancé to leave work and travel to the part of town I was on. He was also unsuccessful with using the key. We had to resort to unlocking the door with a wire hanger by sticking it through the door. After we successfully unlocked the door, the car alarm went off and the key was working like nothing ever happened. I also want to mention we went home yo get my spare and the spare wasn’t working. How were all doors locked while the car was completely running. It burned a quarter tank of gas. I just wanted to make this report to note what happened.

STEERING
Potential Consequences:
Car has power steering issue most noticeable at highway speeds, matching the description of the EPS defect on 2018 Civics (NHTSA ID: 18V663000 ) but my VIN was not included in the recall, despite showing the exact same problem. The steering sticks and has resistance to small adjustments, especially trying to go straight in a lane, & snapping side to side or pulling in opposite direction instead of smoothly turning, intensity varies. There is an audible "clicking" or resistance sound when turning. It's getting increasingly worse overtime, and is a safety issue. Matches testimonials of many other owners of 2018 Civics online. Ive had 3 independent engineers diagnose this issue as a power steering rack problem matching the recall - I have documentation from 2 attached below, the 3rd was an in-person recommendation, document was not provided. Honda is the only diagnostic not acknowledging the EPS problem. Please help me get this replaced so I can drive safely. The contact stated after Honda giving the runaround, they did confirm that the power steering rack is faulty and needs to be replaced . However, since the VIN was not included in the recall for the 2018 Honda Civics, they will not offer me any assistance with the $4200 repair.

Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The steering wheel starts sticking when going highway speed around 60-70mph causing me to overcompensate to adjust it to keep following the road, when done so, the car jerks along with the overcompensation. This is causing alot of strain on my arms due to me having to constantly force the wheels to turn to follow the road, took it to the dealership, quoted $4000+ for a steering rack replacement. I hope something gets done about this issue as I’m seeing many similar cases here.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Air conditioner continues to fail and break. I am going back to Honda to fix this issue and I will then have my 4th condenser put in this car. I have a baby on the way and my car has been paid off. Now I'll have to sell this car and get something different so I can actually have air conditioning that works. It was replaced 4 months ago and already I need a new condenser. It's a 2018 civic si so not even a old car by any means. Only 73k miles. Honda keeps replacing it with the recalled parts and it just happens over and over again. Shouldn't have to make a appointment every 4 months to fix the same issue over and over.
